UK's Johnson says Britain can control borders and remain open to skilled labour

LONDON Oct 13 Britain's post-Brexit goal of
lower immigration and tighter border controls does not mean that
it will have to close its doors to skilled workers from around
the world, foreign minister Boris Johnson said on Thursday.

"There is no inconsistency whatever between the desire to
take back control of our borders and the need to be open to
skills from around the world," Johnson told a committee of
lawmakers.
